On the basis of the captured images, traveling related information including a traffic condition around the user's vehicle is detected, and the information is transmitted to the other vehicles by means of a wireless transmitter.
  • a Multi-hop Wireless Network As a technology for general mobile communications, a Multi-hop Wireless Network has been known so far. For example, by means of the Multi-hop Wireless Network, signals can be relayed among movable bodies so that the movable bodies, which cannot directly communicate each other, can indirectly communicate each other. Further, a routing protocol used for building routes of various kinds of Multi-hop Wireless Networks has been developed.
  • the user's vehicle when the user's vehicle detects a traffic condition or abnormal occurrences, it sends the information to all vehicles, which exist within a range where a wireless communication is available.
  • the wireless communication generally uses signals of a high frequency wave, when obstacles such as a building exist between the vehicles, it becomes difficult to communicate between vehicles behind the obstacles.
  • the signals are blocked by a building or the like and cannot be sent and received between two vehicles, using the routing protocol used for building routes of various kinds of Multi-hop Wireless Networks, the signals are relayed by another movable body and appropriately sent and received between the two movable bodies.
  • the Multi-hop Wireless Network between movable bodies such as vehicles, because the signals are randomly hopped, it takes some time to converge the route and communication efficiency is decreased

  • the second receiving process means R2 receives the second signal (S2) sent by the second transmitting process means T2 and determines whether or not the signal includes information related to the relay request. Further, when the second receiving process means R2 determines that the signal includes the relay request, the signal is relayed to another vehicle (except the user's vehicle) such as the vehicle C, to which the relay request sent by the first transmitting process means T1.
  • the signal is sent and received between the vehicle A and the vehicle C, which has a same configuration as the vehicle A.

For example, "n" such as an integral number is assigned to the data, which is initially sent as the user's vehicle information, and "n-1" is assigned to the data forwarding from the vehicle, which receives the user's vehicle information. Specifically, every time the data is forwarded, the data forwarding number, in which one is subtracted from "n", is sequentially assigned. Further, in the transmitting-receiving ECU 16, when the data forwarding number of the received information is larger than zero, the information is relayed and forwarded (hopping).

  • the image processing device 14 determines complexity of the surrounding on the basis of the distribution of differentials of luminance in the image signal. More specifically, the complexity of the surrounding is calculated as follows.
  • the captured image is divided into blocks, and in each block, it is examined whether or not luminance of the pixels are even.
  • the captured image is further divided into smaller blocks. This process is repeated until it is determined that the luminance of the pixels in each block becomes even.
  • the number of the blocks are counted, and the counted number is compared to the predetermined value.

Further, the processing ECU 15 displays an image captured by the camera 13 on the displaying device 22 on the basis of the vehicle information of another vehicle inputted from the transmitting-receiving ECU 16 and includes various kinds of processes functions. Thus, these processes are shared by the image processing device 14, the processing ECU 15 and the transmitting-receiving ECU 16, however, they can be set flexible depending on the designing advantage.

On the basis of the information of the current position, a traveling direction of the user's vehicle is detected. Further, the vehicle speed sensor 23, for example, detects a pulse of the transmission and provides the processing ECU 15 as a vehicle speed signal.
